Cannot install WLAN Driver on my U410 - Aborts on "Search the target device in this machine".

Hi,
so I have uninstalled Windows 8 and installed Windows 7 64bit Pro on my new Lenovo Ideapad u410. I managed to get all the drivers working... EXCEPT ONE: The WLAN.
Now here's what I did and what happens everytime I try to install the WLAN driver:
I have downloaded the driver "WiFi Link Driver (Intel, CyberTan, Liteon) for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)" from the page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT073650 multiple times and tried installing it multiple times. The installation process works until the status "Search the target device in this machine" shows up. As soon as this status shows up, the installation exits without an error message or anything else.
Please help me to get it working. I can't even use this machine without WLAN.
By the way:
- LAN works fine
- It's not a hardware issue as the WiFi worked fine on the preinstalled Win8
- The WiFi won't even show up under Windows
- I have not installed the "Intel WiMax Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)" driver as I am told that this is not used.
- Of course I am running the .exe as Administrator
- It may have to do something with my partitions as I tried installing Win7 on UEFI before, I can post these if you need to see them.
Solved!

Hi moeper,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The driver may not be finding the Wifi Device, that's why the driver installation is failing.
Try This,
Turn Off the System, Turn it back on and start hitting F2
Check under Configuration TAB and and look for WLAN option,
If Disabled - Enable it then Hit F10 to save the settings
If Enabled - Disable it Hit F10 to save, Then go back to hitting F2 and enable it back,
Then Reinstall the Driver
WiFi Link Driver (Intel, CyberTan, Liteon)
If still Nogo
Try Opening Device Manager and look for your wireless device It should be located under Network Adapters
or it should show as Network Controller or unknown device with an exclamation mark.
If you were able to find it get the hardware id of that and post it back here

Sateillite A300-10M: How to install WLAN driver

I have downloaded the Atheros WLAN driver but not sure what files to open to load the driver onto the laptop.
Any help, please?
Thanks

Hi
I assume youve got some ini and dll files inside the Wlan driver folder
In your case I would go to the device manager. There you should mark the Wlan card (unknown device or Ethernet adapter in network controllers) and should use the option install driver. Then use the advanced procedure and point to the Wlan driver folder which you have downloaded on the page.

I cannot install Flashplayer 10.2.152.32. I get the message that :The Active X for Flashplayer could not be registered. The problem started when I "stupidly" accepted the upgrade on Feb 18, 2011. It has not worked since. I have tried every suggestion including all the older suggestions on this community forum, without success. I am using ie8 xp2002 sp3. I am almost going to give up. Please help.

Hi Lee,
"You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
You are correct but to a point. I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself.
I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds. Nope. Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3. It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally. It worked for me.
This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL). I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7. The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.
" I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
I was opposite on this one. What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave. The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it. When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes. I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me
I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha). If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should. Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
Hope this helps you.

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
(Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

That application could not be lanched for debugging. ensure that the target device screen is unblock and that the application in installed

what is the problems?

Hi windows phone app can not debugging,
>>that application could not be lanched for debugging. ensure that the target device screen is unblock and that the application in installed.
Based on the error information, it seems that you are trying to deploy the application on the Windows Phone Device. Then what Windows Phone OS are you using? Can you run
the application by using the Windows Phone Emulator?
For deploying the application on the Windows Phone Device, first please try to make sure you have registered your phone for Windows Phone development. For more information, please refer to:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/ff769508(v=vs.105).aspx .
After that please try to make sure that phone screen is unlocked and the project you want to run is set as the default Startup project.
Besides, please try to refer to the following article about how to deploy and run apps on a Windows Phone device:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/ff402565(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_device .

Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer.

We have a simple runbook that runs an .exe program local on a remote server.
When I run the runbook within the Runbook Designer and the Runbook Tester it runs succesfully.
When I run the runbook within the Orchestration Console (http://server4:82) I get the error message "Access is denied. Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer."
Orchestrator hierarchy:
server1 Management Server
server2 Runbook Designer
server3 Runbook Server
server4 Web Server

Already solved it!
Even after making the Service Account a Domain Admin it didn't work after restarting the two services on server1. But I forgot the service on server3! Apparently when you use the Web Server it runs the runbook through the Runbook Server and when you
use Runbook Designer it runs locally within the Runbook Tester?

Cannot install TWAIN driver - run preflight failed

I am a Windoze refugee who is helping my father clean up his messy iMac.
He has a Brother DCP-165C printer which he cannot use to scan.
Mac OS X 10.5.8 is up to date, I have recently run the verify disk utility and fix file permissions (as part of my efforts to fix this problem).
I have seen and followed a number of posts in my attemps to fix it and can summarise my efforts as follows:
De-installed all Brother drivers as per their instructions for OS X 10.5.8 on their supprt website.
The Brother printer driver package installs fine so in repeated attempts I have used various postings to de-install them, they all follow the same theme, but this one appeared a bit more comprehensive https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1881546?start=0&tstart=0
I have created a new user (with admin privs) and tried using that to install since I read that files in the users home can interfere with an installation - no joy.
So I finally took the plunge and extracted the preflight script out of the package and ran it in terminal. It's a perl script which gives the following error:
Can't locate Foundation.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/Updates/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl .) at preflight line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at preflight line 12.
Now that sounds pretty terminal, but, the secret I haven't let you in on is that I installed the TWAIN package fine last week. I don't know why (or am even certain if) it stopped working, but we had some problems with the printer.
So my conclusion is that I should be able to get this missing perl component, but perl is something I know nothing about.
thanks in anticipation

Solved!!!
Once again thank you BDAqua for keeping me pointed in the right direction.
After some serious research:
@INC array is set when perl is compiled, it is actually built into the perl binary when you run Configure before compiling..
So it cannot be changed without re-compilation. Likewise, it cannot be broken without re-compiling
/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 is not actually in the @INC array, Apple use none of the accepted methods (or so I believe) of adding it, they have a file in /Library/perl/5.8.8 named AppendToPath which contains:
               /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8
                /Library/Perl/5.8.6
                /Library/Perl/5.8.1
The references to previous versions are there for backward compatibility.
It is also poosible to create a PrependToPath file. As you would expect PrependToPath adds directory(s) to the beginning of the search, and AppendToPath to the end.
You can list the contents of @INC with this command:
perl -e 'print join "\n",@INC'
All I did was run Pacifist to verify the directory /Library/perl/5.8.8 and it reported only 5 files found out of 50, so I just asked it to install the directory structure. That was it, fixed, the TWAIN drivers installed.
For background read:
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=486084
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=385469
A must-read is
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man1/perlmacosx.1.html
which details how perl s configured on OS X.
which contains this important and amusing snippet:
"If all else fails and you want to really, REALLY, start from scratch and remove even your Apple Perl installation (which has become corrupted somehow), the following instructions should do it. Please think twice before following these instructions: they are much like
conducting brain surgery to yourself. Without anesthesia. We will not come to fix your system if you do this."

Satellite C850-19Z - cannot install display driver

Hi
I have had to reinstall my Toshiba Satellite C850 - 19Z ----- PSCBWE - 02400NEN
with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
The laptop uses Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B830 @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz processor
Everything has installed fine apart from the display driver.
I downloaded the following file as my laptop is using an Intel Processor
Intel Display Driver
Version 8.15.10.2752
display-20130924153144.zip4
For model Satellite C850
I found the file using the following drop down options on the Toshia website
Satellite C850 PSCBWE Windows 7 64 Bit Display Driver United Kingdom English
When I try to install the file I get the following error message:
This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
I have checked the requirements in the readme file. The three requirements are:
1.
3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processors
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 vPro(TM) processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 vPro(TM) processor
I am not sure which generation my processor belongs to but i'm assuming it is one of the above since this is the driver for my specific laptop.
2. The software should be installed on systems with at
least 1 GB of system memory.
I have 4 GB of RAM and my system is showing 4 GB is installed.
3. There should be sufficient hard disk space in the <TEMP>
directory on the system in order to install this
software.
I have 270 GB of free space in my primary hard drive / partition which windows is installed into. The file defaults to extract in this hard drive / partition.
I cannot figure out what the problem is with this installation.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Hi
As you said, the notebook was equipped with the Intel Celeron processor B830
This CPU supports the Intel HD graphic chip as mentioned on the Intel ARK page:
http://ark.intel.com/de/products/71141
The driver can be downloaded also from Intel page:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
Here choose:
-Graphics drivers
-Laptop graphics drivers
-Intel Celeron Processors with Intel HD graphics
Here you can download an zip package.
Then you will be able to update or install the driver within the device manager.
You can use the Advanced installation which will help you to point to the unzipped driver folder

Cannot install BT driver

For last few days I was not able to use my Bluetooth and wireless connection. Then when I was trying to install Bluetooth driver on my Toshiba Satellite M645 - PSMPML-00UOO5 it shows the message "Could not turn Bluetooth power on. Please turn on wireless communication switch located on side of main unit." but i am not understanding this.
Where is the switch?

According posted part number you have an Asian notebook model and it is not known to me.
Anyway, I presume the principle how it works must be the same for all Toshiba models so for enabling WLAN or BT module you must use FN+F8 key combination.
Please check it out and post some feedback.

Trouble installing WLAN Driver on Satellite C850-1CW

I've had to reinstall the Windows that the laptop came with (I'm now on Windows 7) and so I need to find all the drivers myself. This one is proving to be a huge problem.
According to System Information the WLAN Card's PCI ID is
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV _8723&SUBSYS_072310EC&REV_00\4&13FD83EA&0&00E1
Which leads me to believe the WLAN Card is Realtek 8191SE. I went to Realtek website and even check other websites and tried downloading and installing every driver that seems to fit that card but none have worked and the Network Controller remains unrecognized.
Any ideas?
(Bluetooth and Ethernet drivers installed with no problems, by the way)
Thanks

try this driver:
